The grave pit was covered with a stone with no engraved named and a stone cross despite his last wishes. In 1818, the cemetery was renovated and his body was exhumed. \r\nDr. Ramon, partnered with the Marquis\u2019s personal physician Doucet, handled the skull for further studies. Dr. Spurzheim, a disciple of physician Franz Joseph Gall, the father of phrenology, borrowed the skull and actually had casts made by his assistant Dumoutier. One of these moulds are in the collections of Mus\u00E9e de l'Homme.\r\nAccording to phrenologists, the skull of the \"divine marquis\" was \"in all respects similar to that of a priest from the church\"."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
